Hey... Happy New Year!!
I think I'm over the jet lag from my Calgary trip. I was up at 5:30 this morning. Apparently, just because. My brother was posting facebook pics of their new years hike and it looks beautiful and sunny in Calgary. Here it was gloomy, cold, windy & damp. Even though Alberta is much colder it doesn't feel like it because it's so DRY there. Taking Sadie for a walk yesterday was downright painful.
Enough about the weather. New Years Day was spent sewing with a friend. She completed two of these cute little pot mitts. These are the foldy type that you either love or you hate. I may have to make a few of these.
While she was working on her mitts, I was assembling the blocks I put together in July when I traveled to Maine. The fabrics are batiks my Singapore Niece gave me for Christmas a couple years ago. Right now this measures about 45 x 60. At some point I will be adding a border, and eventually it will become a tablecloth for the dining room.
These are the fabrics that followed me home from Calgary. The black boot print on the far left was a gift, but the rest of it is my own damned fault. Honestly, the shop owner from Rumpled Quilt Skins in Okotoks, Alberta is a total fiend. Yes, a fiend. I kept saying "NO!!" when she offered to bring the fabrics that matched so nicely with the geometric, but she ran and got them anyways. Then I made the mistake of mentioning that I collect 'word' fabric, so she brought over the last 2.5 meters of the postcard fabric. I was up 13.5 m. after that little visit. Sheesh.
